I always Fly Southwest Airlines.

I remember in the past using Magical Express - but handling my own luggage because Southwest did not participate in Magical Express.

Does Southwest FULLY participate now ??

Thanks in Advance !!
 
I was able to use RAC at the Poly in August. My parents did it at the BW in October.

It was so nice being able to fly SW home without worrying about luggage at the airport this time! :goodvibes
 
Anybody flying into MCO, on any airline can use Magical Express and have their luggage taken to the resort for them.

SWA is now a participating airline so RAC can handle your luggage on your return to the airport as long as you meet their parameters.
 

Resort Airline Check in maybe? It's the desk where they check your bags for you @ the resort so that you don't have to schlep them to the airport and check them there.
 
Thanks Very Much ! I will be at the Boardwalk.

What is RAC ??

Remote/Resort Airline Checkin. Many people think that DME handles your checked baggage for your departure from WDW. But that isn't true. It is RAC. At BW, the RAC counter is outside the resort, over to the left of the main entrance....or right if you are coming out of the resort.

And yes, SW is a participating airline now....for both DME and RAC.
